Rotten service from Old Mutuale Insurance and Telkom SA

My wife have a Loyalty Funeral Cover with Telkom SA of which Old Mutual Insurance are the underwriters. She passed away on 23 Nov 2020. I have been sent back and forth between Telkom and Old Mutual for ten days now and nobody can tel me how to lodge a claim. Calls to Old Mutual call centre are not answered and after holding for 30min or more it is just cut. No records can be found on their systems but I have all the information that were sent to her by Telkom. These are the worse two companies to deal with and I will not recommend any body to make use of their financial services. They a quick to accept you premiums but when claim time arrive they just pull up their shoulders and send you to the next department. Disgusting service. from both of them.

Today is Tuesday 8 December and still no further response from Old Mutual. This is realy frustrating as I had to borrow money to bury my wife and Old Mutual do not care at all.

Our sincerest thanks to Nuku van Coller at the Life Insurance Ombudsman's office as well as Adv Nel with their personnel who resolved this matter for us. Good service and good business ethics are still alive and well in South Africa.
